another article that had many comments. When the page is first loaded, it shows 73 comments, then it turns to 0. Well if mine is approved it’ll move up to 1 comment. While the editor/s of DA Vibes have taken the initiative of moderating comments, or doing so more rigorously. Deleting or removing previous comments will not help the site on Search Engine Optimization level. It’s better to have 5 comments than having none, Google Bots only understand interaction, which is by comments.

This is how they’ll rank your site, if i do a page rank search of DA Vibes, it most likely won’t have an authority level rank like another well known local site has. Thing is I’ve just begun patronizing this site, cause it got more interesting to me. Maybe there were some changes, maybe it’s the easy access of social media links to share the story. Maybe that speed is given a lil more priority than b4… so certain news end up on my f.b feed, from DA Vibes b4 another local news site does. But I’m dissappointed in the fact that previous comments are being hidden/deleted, whatever the case may be.

Remember the comment section is just as, if not more important than the news section, when it comes to blogs/sites etc… look at foxsports.com, Yahoonews.com and various other Authority sites. Visitors spend more time going through comments and engaging with other commentators, than the actual ‘news’ itself.

Thanks dahman for your comment. We did not delete nor remove the comments. We upgraded the commenting system and some of the content (comments) did not transfer across. This is why you see 73 comments at the top, but they don’t show up. Thanks for your observation and we are working to have this rectified.

Please encourage her to study by distance learning while she is in prison. It can be done through the open university and the Prisoners education trust can assist. She just needs to register and apply for funding after she has been analysed by prison personnel. http://www.prisonerseducation.org.uk/index.php?id=190

those drug lords boasting how they don’t get their hands dirty n using innocent people to make millions woe unto them for they can never outrun the long arm of the law…..we should always be content with the little that we have our eyes are our biggest curse all what we see we want….poverty is a hell of a thing, we falling right into the trap

This one took me by surprise. Very sad. Not so long I saw her in town. She looks like a real model. All natural… Those of us that are quick to rejoice when something bad happens to someone just remember something worst could happen to you later. I’m not saying she is right for what she did if she knew what she was carrying then she will pay her price. But some of us to fast to judge and make fun out of other ppls sorrow. The grl is young. She made a mistake. We all make mistakes. Hers may be bigger than some of ours but still, we are all human and all deserve second chances. God be with her.

U can’t expect us to feel sorry for her,I mean its sad but she had d choice NOT to carry drugs so what she get she shud take…one must fall for others to learn…get a job girls get a bloody job…its nt worth d embarrassment

That is so sad to hear what our people a doing in order to get just a little piece of the bread while the bigger boss gets all the profit and don’t take any risk at all….The girls now this days don’t want man that’s working had,,,,they seeing you with things & don’t know how or where you get it from and is those kind of man they want(fast money)man that will kill their own brothers just to get the bread….GOD said by the sweet of thy blood you shall eat bread,,,they don’t even read the book their fathers & mothers read to give them knowledge…..

WARNING DONT TRY TO BRING DRUGS TO ENGLAND THEY WILL CATCH YOU AND ITS NOT NICE YOU WILL ALSO BE ON TELLY. And shame you family when they catch you but then the thought of a big house and car and bling , but jail not nice winter iits Hellboy

But really how much would these people have given her if she had got thru? R u telling me that a couple of thousands can ‘easily’ and ‘heavily’ influence the mind of a young adult. Trust me, this cannot be the first time, she’s been involved in fast money making before!

That is advise to the other young ladies…stop going for man cause of their money…they doe love allu. is just too use and dump when they fed up. Check the little man like me…that doe have much but we trying a ting.

At 18 years old ur man well established enough to send you on a shopping trip to Miami THEN to England? Those young girls to like to live the high life they seeing on tv and hearing in rap songs…shopping spree in 5 different countries 1st class flights and all the rest. That is why they will not work but look for a big man with wife and children their age to give them money to live that kinda life. Work for what you want…stop stretching your hand to a man for money and think it ok cause you sleeping with him so it “paying back”. I 19 years and i doe think id be able to send you england(maybe in 10 years) but if you was my woman you wouldnt be where you are now….we would be eating a fry chicken bay front but at leaast it would be better than where you are now .

That’s what happen when the country has no jobs the youth goes the wrong way am not making excuses but sometimes when your young and you want to achieve and there’s no avenue within Dominica to grow you find yourself involve in wrong acts to get money but thats still not an excuse to sell drugs … with that being said I hope other youths learn from this and wait patiently for things to come in time never rush things patience is a venture ..and to the young lady i hope you dont go to jail for long and ruin your dream for a better futare and think before you act money is not all

why wait? money today is better than money tomorrow. having said that i would stress that drugs are not the way to do it because eventually ur caught. all it takes is motivation and creativity, there is no such thing as a great idea that will struggle to get funding, be creative dominicans… i am telling u there are ways, i found my own with no money given to me as startup.

Country has no jobs? That is the silly excuse that all you like to put in dem young people head. She was suppose to start a job on Monday and did not show up. Young ladies stay away from dem drug man. Dem bling is just satan bait. Only leads to destruction, jail and death. Learn, Learn, learn. . . . .

if your boyfriend is paying for you to go shopping and see your granny then obviously at her age you say thanks, I hope she names names. What a sad state of affairs, this is her first time out of the region too.

She had said her boyfriend was paying to send her to Miami shopping or to see her granny in London, this is her first time outside the region and to end up like this? Hope she names names and especially him. So sad.

same thign happened to vanessa a few years back they send 2 or more girls with drugs then they call customs in england and give customs the name of the girl that carrying the smallest ammount so while customs busy arresting her the others slip threw them girls to stupid to throw there life away for fast money or just to get a ticket to come to BIG COUNTRY what u all get take u all should know better than to transport

actually in the UK when one passenger is stopped,any passenger either traveling with them,or traveling from the same country on the same flight is also stopped,searched and questioned as well. noone slips through uk border agency.

and i quote “I’ve looked at ColtonT’s Colton Beneficiary Thomas video over 5 times in 15 minutes. I’ve looked at my pictures, and pictures of other models like Kersha Breezie Shivaughn Johnson Stevia N Christopher. I look at what Ruth Rea Augustine did at her age with Dominica’s Next Supermodel. I listen to rappers like Masiah Gatar Jervier, Richardson D Remie Kharlen Silva KAYYO and Andy YoKid as a singer,their songs produced by Jevie Davis. I look at photographs done by Gremo Photo, VIP,365 MMP, Izavybez Entertainment etc. Epic videos by Aarmani. And I’m trying to wonder…what the hell are people like this, like me, like us, doing in this country!! Nobody that I’ve mentioned is over 40 years old. We are all young, trying to do something different, trying to move forward in a country that is continuously pulling us back!!! And the messed up thing about it is, (not to be political) the ones who have the power to help Dominica, and help us pave the way for the younger, they don’t care and they shut us down. So we have to do everything on our own and by ourselves! I’m ready to prove them wrong and move! I plan to become an international model by 21 no later than 22, I’m going to do it! I am MODEL Gholda J!”

And this is my reason y I fink gholda really did a frend a favor..she hd to much looking forward to…call me stupid call me wateva…I fink this girl is innocent until proven guilty….her lesson to learn is don’t trust anybody on ur way to trying to become somebody in life…learn that
